KNOMAD-ILO Migration Costs Surveys 2016

The Migration Cost Surveys (MCS) project is a joint initiative of the Global Knowledge Partnership on Migration and Development (KNOMAD) and the International Labor Organization (ILO). The project was initiated to support methodological work on developing a new Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicator (10.7.1) on worker-paid recruitment costs. The surveys of migrant workers conducted in multiple bilateral corridors between 2015 and 2017 provide new systematic evidence of financial and some non-financial costs incurred by workers to obtain jobs abroad. The compiled dataset is divided into two waves (2015 and 2016) based on the questionnaire version used in the surveys. This document describes surveys conducted using the 2016 version of the MCS questionnaire.

移民成本调查（Migration Cost Surveys, MCS）项目是全球移民与发展知识伙伴关系（Global Knowledge Partnership on Migration and Development, KNOMAD）与国际劳工组织（International Labor Organization, ILO）的联合倡议。本项目旨在为制定一项全新的可持续发展目标（Sustainable Development Goal, SDG）指标10.7.1（针对劳动者支付的招聘成本）提供方法论支持。2015年至2017年间，研究团队在多条双边移民通道中开展的移民劳动者调查，为劳动者为获取海外就业机会所产生的财务成本及部分非财务成本提供了全新的系统性实证证据。本次汇编完成的数据集依据调查所使用的问卷版本，划分为2015年与2016年两个波次。本文件将说明使用2016版MCS问卷开展的相关调查。
